The History of Rosalie Hall

Rosalie Hall has served the Toronto communities for 90 years. In 1914, with a deplorable lack of suitable maternity and infant care of single women and their children in Ontario, the Misericordia Sisters started the St. Mary’s Infant Home on Bond Street. To accommodate the growing need for their services, the Sisters then purchased two properties on Jarvis Street. One became the St. Mary’s Hospital and the other became a home for young mothers and their babes. The hospital was used for maternity care, but in 1925, was modified to accommodate medical and surgical treatments as well.
In July of 1952, the sisters purchased 28 acres of land at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and McCowan Road. In 1956, both the hospital and the home were moved to Scarborough, now known as The Scarborough Hospital and Rosalie Hall.
